Bury St Edmunds: where are the classes held?
Our Bury St Edmunds antenatal classes take place at The Grange Hotel on Barton Road.
How much are Bury St Edmunds antenatal classes?

How does this differ to NCT classes in Bury St Edmunds?
NCT classes have been around since the 1950s and for many decades were the only antenatal classes. This means many people believe that all antenatal classes are NCT classes, which is not the case. Happy Parents Happy Baby antenatal classes in Bury St Edmunds are not the same as NCT classes in Bury St Edmunds, or other antenatal classes in and around Bury St Edmunds. Here are some of the differences (as per December 2024).
Our local Bury St Edmunds community
Most of the people coming on our Bury St Edmunds course are from Bury St Edmunds. The course is also popular with those living in neighbouring areas of Great Barton, Thurston and Pakenham.
From walks in Abbey Gardens to coffee meetings in the town centre and playdates at each other’s houses, graduates from our Bury St Edmunds antenatal classes are never short of things to do together.
Is it worth it?
